Been ridiculously stressed with life and from my own neglect of my circumstances stemming from it recently and its affecting my health and my looks, its like my chest is being crushed by a vice 24/7 and my mind is without rest
Honestly from all of the data and anecdotes I think we can say with confidence that chronic stress is one of the worst things for one’s health. Look at the centarian italian grandpas that smoke and drink like sailors but outlive the biohacker, macro-tracker corporate “grinders” who work 80 hour weeks because one is constantly stressed and the other is at peace.
Idk how to deal with it though, my nervous system is wired towards excessively stressing and my circumstances don’t help. My academics and careers stuff are gonna determine my entire life and then there’s the social life that needs tending to and the general loneliness of it all. Its hard to be “at peace”, I can either be locked-in and stressed or utterly dissociated and apathetic whilst only delaying and amplifying my suffering
